Reply to comment by Calamitous_Stars in Police chief says exorcism and prayer used to fight crime and cartels in Colombia: "The existence of the devil is certain" by ChocolateTsar

Yea, can't blame them for for cultural superstition. Plenty here in the US. Just do your job, and take steps to actually address the problems. Mass shootings lead to hypocrites sending "thoughts and prayers " then voting for NRA ass holes who do everything possible to perpetuate the problem. Just tell us you don't give a f and spare us the invisible companions.

Yeah, the NRA is very different from literal drug cartels- so it's understable how one could confuse lessening the psychological grip a cartel holds over an area with •checks notes• United States political theatre..

Like, this is one of the good parts of religion: comforting people in dire situations..

Colombia cartels are globally funded.. the drug trade there is not just local dealers..

You replied to me 3 times, you're not calm enough to have a discussion- and information can exist outside of a single article?

I mean, you could just admit you dont understand other cultures and how other groups could be heavily influenced by their local religion?

I mean, you're not even in colombia and you've heard about this guy's prayers.. it's doing something- look up more about the colombian cartel until you can recognize it's a globally funded criminal organization that commands enough force to basically exist tactically unopposed when their enemy is just local police.
